Sarah, you have a stein that was made sometime between about 1900 and 1926, probably before 1914. The manufacturer was J W Remy located in what is now Hoehr-Grenzhausen in the vicinity of Koblenz in western Germany. it is classified as an "etched" or more accurately "incised" design. The finish of the body design should have a matte look. Your piece should have glazed caramel brown bands at the base and top rim. The inlaid ceramic lid insert is of the same clay as the body. The owl is a typical insert of JW Remy etched steins. Also characteristic is the circle of beads around the insert. Oh, it's a 1 Liter design. I hope this helps. Lyn
